Teacher tenure took a hit on The View last week. “Bad teachers don’t do anybody any good,” said co-host Whoopi Goldberg. “So the union needs to recognize that parents aren’t going to stand for it anymore.”

“I love teachers, I respect them fully, but who is respecting the students?” said co-host Jenny McCarthy.

Goldberg released a video in response to criticism from teachers. “I am all about teachers,” she says. “My mom was a teacher. I like great teachers. I don’t like bad teachers. I don’t think bad teachers should be given the gift of teaching forever badly.”

Defenders of traditional job security rights for teachers should be very worried about a shift in the popular culture.
